"purists, heretics, and everything in between" sounds like a John Kay song:

I used a Lifesaver candy for a lifesaver on the rescue winch I added to the Fiddlers Green R4 helicopter.

just to put in my 10 cents,.while my modelling skills are by no means perfect i do not use any extra parts when i build.the ONLY exception is when i strenghen things such as masts,undercarriage struts and prop blades inside using toothpick.for me personally the WOW factor when i show my models to friends is the fact which they struggle to believe that the whole ship,aircraft or whatever started life as a book or sheets of paper.this is just my way of doing it and to each their own,.i love the look of awe i get when i show a model after showing flat sheets of paper then explaining that everything they see started out life as a piece of paper.

Well...I tried and tried to make everything from paper, except rigging, of course, but never succeeded in make a proper hull (I am building ships). So I decided to make the frames, and first layer of hull plating from MDF (frames) and balsa (hull plating). The rest I build from card board and paper, second layer of hull plating (Showing the plating as on the real ship) and super structures and deck. So the basis of my model is "not" paper, just to give it a good start and a perfect finish for the card board. Also, with this method I prevent warping of my models, they are nice straight and sturdy.
